ITS SECOND ANNIVERSARY.
The Mennerchor Will Pleasantly Gel
ebrate This Evening.

The Cheyenne Mennerchor will cele-
brate Its second anniversary in Keefe hall
this evening. One year ago this event
was celebrated with a brilliant concert
and ball. The programme for this even
ing will in every way surpass that of a
year ago. The address of the evening
will be delivered by f. W. Lafrentz.
Among the concert numbers will be an
overture by Profs. Inman and Hutchin-
son; choruses by the Mennerchor; solo
by II. Dillman; a mixed chorus by the
Mennerchor, assisted by Miss Zehner,
Miss Kewley, Mrs. Buechner and Mrs.
Zehner; a quartette by Messrs. Dillman,
Zehner, Buechner and Goehre; orches-
trail selections; duet by Miss Zehner and
Mr.. Buechner; piano solo by Miss Mamie
Buechner; a quartette by Messrs. Dill
man, Wilseck, Zehner and Buechner, the
entertainment concluding with a humor-
GUS operette by the Maennerchor. Sub
s%equently a well arranged dancing pro-
gramme will be carried out.
A very pleasant time can confidently
be promised to everyone who attends.

THE CHEYENNE & BURLINGTON.
1t Is Approaching at the Rate of Three
Miles per Day.

The Cheyenne & Burlington will be of
vastly more benefit to this city than its
most sangulne supporter ever suspected.
1t will make the farming communities
and retail trading points in Northeastern
Colorado and Southwestern Nebraska
tributary to Cheyenne, and the magic
city will become the natural supply point
for a large section of country. 1t will
necessitate the erection and maintenance
of immense wholesale houses and large
manufacturing establishments in this city
and make it a healthy rival for Omaha
and Denver.
The road is pushing its extension rap
idly from Grant to Cheyenne. Trains
will run into Sterling by September /,
and into this CITY before November 1.
The best towns along this branch will be
Grant, the assured county seat of South
Keith; Holyoke, a new town to be start
ed two miles north of the Frenchman
creek in Colorado. A junction was origi-
nally located further south and west, and
it is understood that quite a body
of land was secured for town
purposes at the junction, but
changes have been made and the new
junction will be several miles ava
From this point a branch is under con
temptation to Julesburg and from Imper-
ial; the present survey will be located fur
Their north. Ground has already been Sc
cured for a supply depot and great things
are in contemplation. This is the coming
town for eastern Colorado, and with five
roads, to Holdrege, to McCoek, to Akron,
to Cheyenne and to Julesburg, will make
a second Hastings. The next town of
Importance is Sterling, where the Union
Pacific crosses, and what will be done be-
yond Sterling is all a matter of conjecture.
This road never does things by halves.
The extensive investments already made
by the company in Cheyenne prove the
truth of this assertion. 1t has been in
strumental and materially assisted in the
building of prosperous cities in southern
Nebraska and will add an impetus to the
commercial interests of Cheyenne. Track
is now being laid at the rate of three
miles per dsy while thousands of men
are ~excavating on the grade of the line.

RAIDING THE ROW.
Active Measures ~Inaugurated to Sup
press Low Dives.

In pursuance of orders issued bv the
mayor and countersigned by the marshal,
the ho1ses of i'll fame which pay no
license were visited by the police last
evening. No arrests we're made. but
twenty nine inmates, ten of whom were
colored, were requested to appear at the
police court this morning and pay an $lS
fine, &C to jail or vacate the village. The
probabilities are that as many as can
conveniently do so will leave town at
once. The low dives will be raided
regularly every month and the in
mates treated as above. They
will not be overlooked between
the dates particularly specified and it is
safe to say that the element which has
heretofore been a costant source of great
annoyance to all will soon be completely
eradicated. This action is the direct out
come of the numerously signed social evil
petitions and reflects great credit upon
the municipal authorities. Orders have
been issued hat lewd women must
not appear about the streets of the city
on horseback and must at all time pre-
serve quiet and good order. These rcgu-
lations will in the future be strictly en-
forced, and it is to be hoped will have the
desired effect.
1t is thought that the proposed line of
action will meet with the approval of a
majority of the people who have labored
in behalf of its PRONUNCIATION. Now that
the mayor has outlined his policy there
will be no MISUNDERSTANDING. True, the
ordinances provide that Immoral estsb-
lishments shall not be allowed to exist
within the city limits. The petition
praying for their removal has been prac-
tically disposed OF. G. w. Clark. whose
name appeared prominently on the list,
Informed a reporter Yesterday that him
self and Others proposed to have the or
dinances enforced; that if the mayor
would not cause the law to he
obeyed the petitioners would compel
him to do SO, if possible; they had Sc
cured legal advice on the subject and be-
lieved they were right, and would push
the matter to its termination. On the
other hand Mayor Rine1 says that it is
the duty of every citizen who knows that
an ordinance is being violated, to com
plain against the criminal. He will see
that all complaints are thoroughly inves-
tigated.

MIR. E. P, Clark, locating engineer for
the Union Pacific, is in town enroute to
the terminus OF the Cheyenne & North
ern. He has a car of material at the
depot and is hiring men and teams for a
trip of three months duration. MI.
Clark avs he dosn't know where the
road is going; that he has sealed orders
in his pocket, but doesn't know what in
structions they contain. 1t is supposed
that he will select the best route to con
meet the Cheyenne & Northern with the
Northwestern.

with another rivet added to the iron band
of friendship already existing between
Cheyenne firemen, who, by the way, are
members Of the best volunteer depart
ment in the world.

SILK CHEMISETTE--LACE PLAsTRON.

The lace plastron shown in the cut Is de-
signed TO be worn over plain silk corsage or
inside an open dress, and is composed Of black
point d'esprit tulle. 1t is attached to a stand
ing collar two inches deep, which is composed
of tulle folds and band of jet lace mounted
on q stiff lining. The tulle for the plastron
is twenty inches long and twenty-nine wide,
and is edged with five inch trimming lace
across the bottom. The net back or founda-
ton upon which the tulle Is gathered Is six
inches wide at its widest part, and narrowed
20 four inches at the neck and two inches at
the waist. For a space of eight inches above
the lace sdging at the bottom the tulle is
plated fiat against the back; the part
above forms u dropping puff, which termi-
mates under q jet band. A shorter jet band is
set across at the waist and a tuft of long
loops Of narrow black feather edged ribbon
is placed at one side of the top where the col
lar is fastened.
The silk chemisette, represented in the same
cut, is designed to be worn with an open
corsage, and is made Of light gray and white
striped surah silk. A piece of the silk, half
yard wide and little longer than the
length from throat to waist, is plated in a

TO n high, we'll stifrened standing collar of the
same silk, which is fastened at the back. At
the lower end tho plat is sloped an inch
shorter toward the sides, and is attached to a

Spring Jackets.

Jackets are in demand by young ladies,
misses and Others with 1.-THE, graceful figures
The most stylish jacket is devoid of much
trimming, being characterized by neatness
Of finish. The spring jacket is tight fitting,
of medium length and very plain, and is
made in medium and light weight cloths, the
checked and hair striped English woolens be-
ing very stylish. The smooth French cloths,
the broad and narrow wool diagonals and the
fine broadcloths that come in weights de-
signed for ladies' wear are also favored and
finished with narrow binding of silk braid
or single stitching.
A very stylish spring jacket and one that
promises favor is q tight fitting shape in the
back and loose fronts. 1t is fastened with
one button only ut the neck, or it may have
tho neck finished with coat lapels and closed
with ribbon strings at the lower point Of the
lapel This looks well made in thin cloth or
cashmere in any Of the dark shades, with a
silk lining of some bright color
Covert coats Of dark green or blue cloths,
made double breasted and fastened with bone
buttons and with turned down collar Of
velvet of the same shade, are in style.
The yachting jacket is very jaunty gar
ment which will be largely worn by school,
girls and very young ladies with various
dresses. 1t is made of navy blue cloth, with
gilt anchor buttons, and has loose double
breasted fronts and fitted back

In England there is a strictly observed
etiquette which defines the depth of mourn
ing to be worn in any relationship and the
time of its continuance. In our country all
this is so much matter Of personal option as
to become quite perplexing. Trustworthy
authority informs questioners in regard to
widows mourning, that for the first twelve
months the dress and mantle must be of Hen
riette cloth or bombazine The widows cap
must be worn for a year and day and for
that time only. Tue bonnet should be entirely
Of crepe with widows cap tackled inside,
and is worn with a crepe veil with a deep
hem. Crepe cloth is a good material for O
walking or rough dress. After twelve months
have passed, and the widows cap is laid aside,
silk, heavily trimmed with crepe, may be
worn for six months, when.the crepe may be
sensibly lightened, and jet fringe or pas
samenteries used. After another three
months crepe may be discarded, and at the
end of two years half mourning may be worn
for four or five months, the change to gray
and lilac being made gradually. For the
first year the widow should accept no invita-
tons, and it is in the worst possible taste for
her to be seen in places of public resort After
the first year she may gradually resume her
place in society. Thus it will be seen that the
longest period or mourning for a widow is
three years. .-

A CA,rions Old Custom.

1t used to be the custom many years

thrifty danes to prepare "grave Clothes"
for the different members of the family.
With the growth of a child the old '.grave
clothes" would be Neutrality-suspicious.
given to an improvident or shiftless neigh
Dor to be used i'm time of need-and new
garments would be promptly made to re-
place the old. A story is told about a
relative of the late Judge Westbrook, of
Kingston City. Mrs. IS grave clothes
had been laid carefully away for many a
long day. When grown yellow or mussed
looking the old lady would edo them up
fresh, /" with her own hands and feeling
of bliSsful readiness and security would
again be hers. One day a neighbor called
on the old lady, and the latter was found
to be greatly perturbed over something.
"Guess you'd be flustered, too" said the
excited dame, eff somebody eame and
borrowed your grave clothes, Just after
they'd all been done up fresh. That shift
less Miss - knew she wouldn't have
anything fit to wear when she came to
die; and, sure enough, 1t was borrow,

lessness never could endure! Now I've
got to go to work and make up another
set. o. may be catched in the Same box.''
The old lady, who was then past 90, went
promptly to work and had fresh grave
clothes made up, and it is asserted on
good authority that she lived only q few
hours after their completio kingston
